The Black Sash welcomes the announcement by Social Development Minister Dr Zola Skweyiya to allocate an additional R500 million to the South African Social Security Agency and its provincial departments to provide further ‘Social Relief of Distress’ to households and individuals facing hardship.
Black Sash’s Ratula Beukman says the additional R500 million will help a lot of people in the short term but in the long term people need much more security.
Beukman added that the relief afforded to South Africans who are in desperate need of assistant is about six months.
